Ahf Uganda Cares On Behalf Of The Consortium For Access To Aids Treatment (caat)

KAMPALA, Uganda, June 15, 2010 - As global AIDS treatment funders such as PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and the Global Fund retreat from ongoing commitments to provide lifesaving antiretroviral treatment to people living with HIV/AIDS in Africa and elsewhere in the developing world, thousands of people already on treatment are losing access to antiretroviral treatment via programs and providers that are placing caps on the number of people allotted access to treatment slots in countries like Uganda.
